Call of Duty Black Ops 2 Midnight Release Openings

Of course they’re opening.

Love it or hate it, Call of Duty is one of the most popular franchises of all time, and since Black Ops 2 has already broken the record for the most pre-orders in the history of GameStop, I’m sure there are going to be record setting line-ups at the midnight release as well. Grab some snacks and get in line early, this is going to be a big one.
